Around the holidays I often get asked by friends about gift ideas for kiddos. My favorite gift is ALWAYS a book, but I will let in the educational toys every now & then ;) So, today I’ve complied for you, with visuals of course, my favorite books & toys that are currently scattered about our […]

Yesterday I shared with you how V started off her third birthday – with a balloon spectacular! Today, I am sharing with you all the activities we did at little miss V’s birthday party. Her birthday theme was Arts-N-Crafts. I knew a while ago, because she enjoys doing crafts, painting, & coloring, that this would […]
